Is there more KE or GPE in the world? Well i can answer that question. If you are wondering what KE and GPE mean I can tell you, KE or kinetic energy means energy an object has due to it's motion and GPE or gravitational potential energy means energy stored in an object due to it's position. If you are still confused on what kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy is i will give you some examples of objects that have these energies, some examples of kinetic energy are a piece of paper falling, a person jumping out of a plane, and a football being thrown through the air. Some examples of gravitational potential energy are someone sitting at the top of a slide, someone standing on a diving board, and someone at the starting line of a race. Is there more KE or GPE in the world, I think there is the same amount of kinetic and gravitational potential energy because most of the time to have gravitational potential energy you have to have kinetic energy. now you know what gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy means and if i think there is more KE or GPE in the world.
